Are your Dimensions the package or the board?
Do you know that in UK, Australia and India, &ldquo;mil&rdquo; is short for millimetre?
After converting (because all modern chips are in metric), it does look as if my 6.4 mm
package will fit in your .230 - .350 width. So buying some anyway, but with very low confidence it will fit.</p>Customer #366908 on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinCustomer #366908urn:uuid:08ddb0e8-413d-fd01-ec5b-761c3c43470c2013-10-02T17:47:26-06:00<p>any possibility we can get one in a 80 QFP? guess for the time being i&rsquo;ll have to etch my own.</p>BalashiFan5 on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinBalashiFan5urn:uuid:c26ce4e1-53e8-07fd-98d6-4ebed6ddcd842013-03-20T00:48:00-06:00<p>you can use a 24 pin IC on this board.

Well done sir!</p>Kamiquasi on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinKamiquasiurn:uuid:a2823330-b6a6-f7a7-3b48-199ead5949d02012-10-23T03:52:13-06:00<p>Short answer: Yes.</p>
<p>Long answer: In the datasheet you mentioned, they mentioned that the package designation at TI is &lsquo;DBQ&rsquo;. Hit Google with that and you should end up at the <a href="http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/psheets/pkg_designator/DBQ.html" rel="nofollow" >list of DBQ package dimensional drawings</a>, and from there to the <a href="http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/mpds212a/mpds212a.pdf" rel="nofollow" >28-pin package</a>.</p>
<p>Open that datasheet. From the description of this product <em>&ldquo;. Designed to be used with 0.65mm pitch devices but can also be used with 0.025&rdquo; pitch devices [&hellip;]&ldquo;</em>. If you look at the top-left drawing, just below the bottom row of pins, it shows the pitch (the distance between 2 pins). It&rsquo;s indicated to be 0.025&rdquo;, so that matches this breakout board&rsquo;s spec.</p>
<p>Next up the description mentions <em>&ldquo;Can be used with packages that have a lead span of .230&rdquo; up to .350". &ldquo;</em>. If you look again at the top-left drawing, all the way on the right, that shows the lead span (maximum distance between the very ends of the leads). It notes this as being between 0.228&rdquo; and 0.244". So if you&rsquo;re very, very unlucky, the leads are actually 0.002" short. Just give the part a funny look or threaten to put it in a parts bin next to lowly transistors, and I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;ll happily give you that 0.002". In other words.. that, too, is fine :)</p>Microneeds on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinMicroneedsurn:uuid:f5a1eba7-c1bb-99e4-dd56-8ffb7a0e54412012-10-23T02:55:12-06:00<p>Is this breakout board compatabile with pcm1680?</p>

I ended up hand soldering tiny wire strands to bridge the gap because I wanted to prototype a circuit and had no other breakouts on hand for SSOP.</p>
<p>A great revision to the board would be to accommodate the narrow SSOP form factor as well.</p>guruboy on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-Pinguruboyurn:uuid:5a64bc1e-2730-0732-b799-bfead86213e22012-02-29T14:10:44-07:00<p>I&rsquo;m unsure whether this thing is compatible with a chip I want to use, the MAXIM MAXQ3183. This chip comes in a TSSOP package and the pins reach 6.25-6.55 mm across. We are concerned that this breakout board has pads that are too far apart for our chip to reach. Can anybody help with this? I was referred to this product by the folks at NanoCore12.com when I inquired about a similar product.</p>muRata on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinmuRataurn:uuid:2b0cf1a3-9844-32ab-abf8-467db1d69a1c2012-02-04T10:59:05-07:00<p>Can we get Eagle Files?</p>MikeGrusin on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinMikeGrusinurn:uuid:cbc470fa-d6df-6719-3803-58ca971c5f382011-09-27T11:06:25-06:00<p>It&rsquo;s a standard 28-pin, 0.6" wide DIL socket. It&rsquo;s not in the SFE library, but it should be in ref-packages.lbr (supplied with Eagle) as DIL28-6. You could also use 2 x 14-pin 0.1" headers 0.6" apart.</p>Bassman on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinBassmanurn:uuid:f6e16cd9-9199-fcd6-58ea-84871fb91bc02011-09-27T10:27:50-06:00<p>the eagle library does not have a package for this part&hellip;</p>Customer #106799 on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinCustomer #106799urn:uuid:c63152a7-e5ef-670d-3002-11f3c6719a2c2011-03-14T19:05:35-06:00<p>I&rsquo;m having the same issue but with the FM radio chip.

When I attempted to solder them to this board I discovered that I could only solder down one side of the chip, the other side would not reach. Its a bummer because the old green SSOP breakouts (that had the rotated chip placement) worked like a champ! I&rsquo;ve emailed customer service about the issue so hopefully they can fix it in a new revision.<br/>

However the pin traces no longer go through to the underside of the board so there is nothing to short-out on a thermal pad.<br/>
Double check the width of your IC, many SSOP packages are less than 0.200" wide and unfortunately I can&rsquo;t use the boards I just ordered.</p>Railstars on BOB-00500 - SparkFun SSOP to DIP Adapter - 28-PinRailstarsurn:uuid:4f70c41d-f5fc-18c2-f1fe-e71a76038a112009-09-20T06:50:09-06:00<p>Does this breakout board work with TI&rsquo;s &ldquo;PowerPAD&rdquo; HTSSOP devices, which have an exposed thermal pad on the bottom? <a href="http://focus.ti.com/lit/ml/mhts001f/mhts001f.pdf" rel="nofollow" >http://focus.ti.com/lit/ml/mhts001f/mhts001f.pdf</a></p>
